[fvc-wat-disc] Minutes from Sept. 22

[Matt Foster]

Hi KW group,
Contrary to the minutes, Cambridge still has about $180 available in the
kitty.
As we have been making liberal use of your campaign materials please
consider the money available for your own use. (after all this is an Ontario
wide referendum)
Donna has suggested that a mobile sign in your area would be a good idea so
use it up.
Cheers
Matt
